N/A The Springer Workbench.

[crowski]

A package delivered yesterday I opened this morning. Busy yesterday taking down Christmas decor. More tools, yay. Got punches for split pins and a set of Wera micro drivers.

I‘m getting ready to install some more spring sets I‘ve accumulated over the last year, 15 sets. I have three different manufacturers for comparison. Also have approx. 10 sets with identical cylinders and caliber for fair comparison.

I have 4 sets of Vortek en route as well, when they arrive, I will probably start shortly after. I have piston seals for all and will all be replaced. Have a few different lubes to try as well.
A few months ago I bought a screwdriver bit set by Chapman. Had the Wheeler set. The Chapman set easily wins, for quality, IMO.

I use the pine V-block to hold the cylinder when removing pins. I will make another, but shorter with same dimensions so I can straddle the cylinder. Works fantastic. The 2 maple pieces by v-block, I use instead of a wrench to open the cylinder on a few Weihrauch’s.
The Master Vice is exactly that, second to none, very versatile, rigid and safe. Looking forward to the fixes. Winter has its advantages. This is my favorite part of airguns.
Always open for suggestions. Crow … Happy New Year

Well stocked and equipped for some great improvements. Looks to be a productive winter! The Real Avid Master Vise is on the wish list for sure. We have them at work. They are awesome.

 

[Moog]

Looks like your gonna be real busy. I remember you were installing a lot of kits last winter. Those tools look really nice.

Looks very nice Crow, kinda puts my bench to shame. When we lived in the bush I had a 4 bay lockable shed with a bench along the whole length. We it got too hot I’d move what I needed to the tray of my Ute so I could access the breeze.
Now I don’t have a bench at all so if something needs fixing I move one of our cars out of the double garage and sit on the concrete floor. I lay out what’s required around where I will sit.
Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it works for me.

It's hard to believe I get anything done with this mess.

Nice tools. If my math is correct, you are lacking 367 spring kits for the others! Lol

You should also take a look at Lewis's set-up. Impressive;Most impressive. Obi-wan has taught him well.

Crow its 2.30 pm and it’s 39 degrees, so yes is a bit warm. Not too bad but too hot in the boat. We have been having thunder storms all week and it looks like they will continue for several days yet.

Thanks. One thing I’m not short on is work. Crow

I was just wondering if it is warmer than usual.
‘Today I fixed my 47 yd. stand, taken out by a slide. Never did I ever dig with a spade shovel at the end of Dec. like I did today. I can’t remember I never had a rink by Christmas. You can water ski now. I pulled weeds that were growing. All a first for me. Crow

No it’s about normal for this time of year. I could be wrong, but I have a theory on climate change, I reckon that the planet has tilted because of all the lead you guys are shooting over there.

Mine is a storage area for excess accessories.

 

[jccams]

Very nice Crow! I dream of the day I can have a room dedicated to my airguns. It would be so nice to be able to keep all the tools and such set up and ready. A guy can dream right.

Bin there, done that.
Sad thing is I had to get rid of a Bob Timberlake solid cherry bedroom set to empty the room. It was worth it. Crow

Thanks. It was my dream and was I shocked, when. It was a nice bedroom, which might of got used 5 nights a year. As soon as the queen OK it, I moved like a 18 yr old leaving work, to empty room and refill with my goods. Dreams become realities. Crow
